Bengaluru, Oct 14: Concerned over reaching school late due to traffic snarls caused by an under-construction flyover, an eight-year-old boy here wrote a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi whose office directed the concerned department to look into the issue.

"The under-construction flyover is causing problems for the people in surrounding area and especially I reach school late. I decided to write a letter to the Prime Minister after my grandfather advised me to do so," the boy, Abhinav, told reporters.

The work on the flyover, which falls on the way to his school in Yeshwanthpur, causes delays due to traffic jams, said Abhinav, who stays in Doddabommasandra. It takes him 45 minutes to travel a three km distance from home to school.
